Hello there! I am Honza. I come from the Czech Republic.
I used to be a student until not long ago and I still feel like one.
I am also a traveler and musician.

I am interested in international relations. I am fascinated how countries and people shape each other's history, present and future.

I also play piano and Czech traditional "cimbál". For more than 15 years I have played in traditional music band Kubalovci. www.kubalovci.cz. We have travelled around Europe and visited the Philippines to share the Czech culture.
